A/N: Pfft. Because every Zutara fic needs some Sokka love, you know. ;)

Sokka was having a bad day.

Mind you, he wasn't supposed to have a bad day. In fact, he should be perfectly content right now. I mean,

1. He got his girlfriend and his dad back from those stupid Fire Nation Bastards ™.

2. Aang had a gotten a Firebending teacher. Yes, it was Zuko (Jerkbender), but after his life-changing field trip with him to rescue said girlfriend and dad, the tension had lessened considerably

3. Aang could now pretty much face the Fire Lord.

4. And speaking of Fire Lords, they were safely hidden from any of them, with no evil psycho princesses or evil psycho Fire Lords or evil psycho assassins with eyes on their foreheads hunting them down.

So, all in all, Sokka should be having a great day. So it just made him more pissed off that he wasn't. Why, you ask?

Well, this morning, Aang and Zuko (Jerkbender) decided to practice their usual Firebending drills, which was usually fine by him. Until this morning, because Zuko just had to demonstrate some new Jerkbending form to Aang when Sokka was conveniently (or inconveniently, depending on who you were) walking by, thus setting his pants on fire.

Sokka did not take that well.

Then Katara, woken up by the chaos, had promptly drenched him in a gigantic tidal wave from head to foot in an attempt to put said fire out, which would've been great, except now he was drenched from head to foot.

Sokka didn't take that too well either.

And of course, since Katara was inanely suspicious of Zuko (Jerkbender), even though everybody else had gotten over their suspicions quite a well ago, she instantly interpreted this 'honest mistake' as an assassination attempt on Sokka's life, and thus promptly dragged Zuko (Jerkbender) into some secluded spot to shout at him, where Zuko (Jerkbender) promptly shouted back.

That was when Sokka thought his day started looking up. Boy; was he wrong.

After five minutes of their little escapade, the clearing stopped shaking from the screaming. In fact, nobody could hear a peep from where Katara and Zuko (Jerkbender) were.

So Sokka had then diplomatically and graciously offered to check on the pair to see if they were captured by Fire Nation soldiers or eaten by angry saber-tooth moose bears. Heck. he even hummed as he walked, quite cheerfully, he might add, definitely not expecting that sight that met him.

Which was, to Sokka's complete and utter surpriseshockdisgust, his pure, innocent, wonderful baby sister making out.

With Zuko (Jerkbender). who has been completely classified as one of those Fire Nation Bastards ™.

Thus turning his started-bad-but-turning-great day into bad again.

This might also explain why an angry! Sokka is chasing around a running! Zuko brandishing his boomerang threateningly, cursing with such intensity it burned everybody's innocent virgin ears, while a pretty much pissed off! Katara was trying to keep her brother from killing her (apparent) boyfriend.

And the fact that Zuko (Jerkbender, Fire Nation Bastard ™) was a pretty fast runner, much to Sokka's frustration, only made his day worst, because he still hadn't had the chance to castrate him yet (but just you wait. He'll get him…eventually).

Anyway. After ten minutes of angry! Sokka and running! Zuko, the Water Tribe warrior was pretty much exhausted. Who knew that Fire Nation Bastard™ had so much strength in those stupid skinny legs? Sokka was just about to give up and go back to camp, all the while cursing and brooding about his bad-turned-to-worst day, until they heard it.

"ZUKO!!!" (Jerkbender, Fire Nation Bastard ™, Sokka added mentally)

And thus his salvation came in form of an angry twelve-year old Avatar who had probably just found out the girl he had been crushing on had been kissed by his Firebending teacher.

"ZUKO!!!" You could practically hear the Avatar state reactivating. Sokka grinned and opened his mouth. Zuko (Jerkbender, Fire Nation Bastard ™) saw said grin and instantly adopted a look that said 'oh, HELL no'.

Sokka grins wider. He then opens his oversized mouth and lets every inch of volume from his overloud vocal cords rip out. "HEY AANG! GUESS WHAT I FOUND?"

Silence.

(Sound of trees collapsing and boulders in an avalanche.)

Zuko runs as a flash of pure-orange fury starts to appear as a line of trees simultaneously get destroyed.

Sokka grins so wide, he's pretty sure all that's left of his face is a bunch of pearly white teeth.

Sokka just had the best day ever.
